Mini-documentary to be presented to Congress
Producers of the critically acclaimed documentary A Lion in the House have partnered with CureSearch, the world's preeminent childhood cancer research organization, to produce Jen's Story, a mini-documentary on childhood cancer.  Lion's Jennifer Moone and her mother Beth were among the more than 300 families from 37 states who met with members of Congress to urge support of the Childhood Cancer Act of 2007.

The mini-documentary underscores the need for funding for critical research into the causes and treatment of pediatric cancer by putting policymakers in the shoes of families as they struggle with the physical and emotional stresses of the cancer experience. The film also highlights the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2007, which would increase governmental funding for pediatric cancer research.
